The "Making of" Gallery - Rachel McCollough

This new Gallery replaces the former "Masters Gallery", which will work from now on as pure archive. Here you will find not only the work and art from folks who sell whips, but also from folks, who create their whips out of pure passion. And we have an additional gallery. It is called "The Gallery - Making of".

Looks great, Rachel.
I wonder what colour it is? Is it a dark brown or more grey?

Mark, Jyri, Thank you very much!

Nadine, Thank you! It is more of a dark Khaki/military brown. It almost has an olive green type look in the sun.

Flemming, you're right. That is a very nice piece of wood and it completes the rustic look of the whip.

Well done, Rachel!
I'll give it a try, Dad, but it's going to be really hard...kind of like trying to saw something in half using a banana.

You never cease to amaze me with your work.

It's ok if you disagree with me.
I can't force you to be right.

They look awesome, Rachel.
Are these the black and yellow ones you told me before?
I really like the combination of this yellow with the wood colour.
Are they waxed in the last picture? On my black- yellow one, i had a massive colour change after waxing and i did not like the yellow very much after waxing. But this yellow still is very beautiful.

Mr. Robert, thank you! I think they will be, but I only tested them separately as I coukd not stand the risk of getting them dirty ;)
They felt the same to me, one at a time....

Thanks, Sir Roger! Yes they certainly are bright! :)

Thank you very much, Nadine :)
Indeed these are the ones I told you about, and they are waxed in the last two pictures. The neon yellow paracord stayed very bright and clear yellow.

Very cool! Though the colors are not quite my cup of coco(I don't care for tea or coffee). :) A matched set of cowwhips are on my to do list now. Maybe neon orange or green.
